Saw a wonderful program about this program on PBS.
I think he reached the speed of sound on his descent but felt no sensation of falling. Said it was if he was suspended & the Heavens were retreating. How amazing would that be...
That’s surprising. Every jump that I did, my stomach announced ‘AHHHH!! WE’RE FALLING!! SHHH****TTT!!!’
They were from *much lower* altitudes than Kittenger’s jumps. :-)
